No, they should add amd64 as a foreign architecture. The wrong- architecture kernel packages are a workaround from pre-multi-arch days that I don't wish to extend. Several things are still broken in kernel support; at least: - Many ioctls <https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/13/618> - Syscall auditing <https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/789> Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Experience is directly proportional to the value of equipment destroyed. - Carolyn Scheppner
